Indeed the trailer offers a wide look of what audience will be seen in the film. The backdrop set in the classic era of 1837 in a small town of Mississippi. The film brings a reminiscence of Disney movie which defines the curiosity and the existence of mermaid fairies. The trailer describes the movie as – “An adventure that doesn’t stop at ocean’s edge”.
